22 rf leading is usually from a burr. Once it starts it will only get worse. It will pile up and move towards the breech.

I did not notice any burrs but, honestly, there was too much lead in the barrel to see much. Big chunks are gone now. Soaked in Kroil last light. Will brush extensively today and soak in Kroil again. After this routine gets rid of the lead I plan to scope the barrel again and use J&B to smooth the barrel.

Thanks,

Hoppes 9 is very good at loosening up lead. So is mixing 1/3 transmission fluid in with the Kroil. The leading of 22 RF is solely caused by a burr, sharp edge etc. The velocity of 22 RF is not nearly high enough to lead a smooth barrel. Like others have said, once the leading starts it just gets worse and it accelerates as it builds up. Clean the barrel and cylinder down to bare and find the sharp edge(s) or burrs causing your problems. If you have to, get a smith to smooth those out. If you don't want to do that make sure you give the gun a very good de-leading after every use but no matter how much you shoot is it will never smooth out on its own, lubed lead bullets just aren't that abrasive..
